🦵 As comes to a close today, we recognise the importance of tried and trusted treatments in lower limb and skin care.

💙 For decades, zinc oxide and ichthammol have played an important role in supporting the management of lower limb wounds, irritated skin, venous eczema, and skin damage associated with chronic oedema and poor circulation.

💙 Products such as and bandages continue to be valued by healthcare professionals for their soothing, protective, and skin-supporting properties, helping to calm inflammation, manage irritation, and support healing in vulnerable lower limbs.

💙 Sometimes, the most effective treatments stand the test of time, and we at Evolan are very proud of our products’ heritage. This week has been about raising awareness, improving understanding, and highlighting the importance of early intervention, compassionate care, and evidence-informed practice in leg health.

💙 Because legs matter - every day of the year.

Good morning! 🦵 It's day 4 of and today we are highlighting a symptom that is often underestimated in lower limb care - itch.

💙 For many people living with lower limb wounds, venous eczema, or chronic swelling, persistent itching can be distressing and uncomfortable. Scratching can damage fragile skin further, increase the risk of infection, and delay healing.

💙 Alongside good skincare and wound management, treatments such as or bandages may help soothe irritated skin, support comfort, and protect vulnerable areas when used appropriately as part of a care plan.

💙 Managing itch is not just about comfort - it’s an important part of protecting skin integrity and promoting healing. Awareness, early intervention, and holistic lower limb care all matter.

10/06/2026

🦵 It's day 3 of and we are shining a light on the skin conditions often linked with lower limb wounds.

💙The skin is our body’s largest organ and an important indicator of leg health. Changes in the skin can be an early warning sign of underlying problems with circulation, swelling, or chronic wounds.

Conditions such as:
🔹 Dry, fragile skin
🔹 Venous eczema
🔹 Skin discolouration
🔹 Cellulitis
🔹 Thickened or damaged skin

All can have a significant impact on comfort, healing, and quality of life.

💙Healthy skin plays a vital role in wound prevention and recovery. Early recognition, good skincare, hydration, and access to appropriate treatment can help reduce complications and support healing. Looking after your skin is part of looking after your legs.

Day 2 of focuses on wounds and wound care.
A wound on the leg or foot that doesn’t heal properly is never “just a sore”. Persistent wounds can affect mobility, confidence, wellbeing, and quality of life - and without the right care, they can become serious.

Knowing the signs early is key:
⚠️ Redness or swelling
⚠️ Pain or leakage
⚠️ Skin changes
⚠️ Wounds that are slow to heal

Good wound care, early assessment, and ongoing support can make all the difference. No one should struggle in silence with a wound that isn’t healing.

Let’s all continue raising awareness about the importance of timely treatment, prevention, and compassionate care. Today, Janine has been presenting at the Best Practice in Lower Limb Care study event on how zinc oxide can help with wounds and damaged skin.
